FOLDING HEAD-REST.

E$PECIFICATIN forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,980, dated June 16,1885.

' Application filed August 2, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAXIMILIAN J. 'KOENIG, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at J ersey Shore,in the county of Lyc-oming and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inFolding Head- Bests, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to improvements in head-rests, and the sameis an improvement on a similar patent granted to me on the 18th day ofDecember, 1883, and numbered 290, 644 and the invention consists in theconstruction and novel arrangement of the various parts of which it iscomposed, all as will be hereinafter more fully explained, andparticularly pointed out in the claim appended.

The annexed drawings, to which reference is made, fully illustrate myinvention,in which Figure 1 represents a perspective View of my foldinghead-rest. Fig. 2 is aside view of the same, and Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6aredetailviews.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates thefolding head-rest, consisting of the head portion a, made in skeletonform and divided at the center into two parts, b and c, which are hingedto one another, as at d, and the same is perforated around its edges, asshown at e, to receive the stitches or fastenin gs which secure thecushion thereto.

B B represent the arms of the device,which are constructed alike, theupper sections f of which are provided with T- shaped lugs g, whichconnect with the slots h on the head portion, whereby said head-rest isremovably applied to the arms aforesaid. This upper sec tion is bent atright angles to the vertical portion, as shown at i, and to the lowerend, j, of which is pivoted the second section, It, and to the lowerends of the second sections are pivoted the third or lastsection, l, asatm. These latter sections are provided with lugs n, that engage notches0 in the adjoining sections, which serve as stops for the arms when thelatter are unfolded for use.

0 0 indicate the straps by means of which the device is secured to thewearer.

It will be seen from the above description and by reference to theannexed drawings that the head-rest can be detached from the arms andfolded, and that the arms can also be folded section upon section andstored in a very small space, and it is durable, light to carry, and atthe same time cheap to manufacture.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s

The herein-described head-rest, consisting of the perforated headportion a, divided into sections 1) c, and hinged to one another andhaving the slots h h, the pivoted arms B B, the upper section, f, havingthe T-shaped lugs g 9, adapted to engage the slots in the head portion,and provided with the securing-straps O O, the Whole constructed andarranged as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
